FERRU LE FOR 'CAN ES, U M BRELLAS, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435,216, dated August26, 1890.

Application filed January 6, 1890. Serial No. 335,952. (No model.)

To all whom itmay concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL WV. EVANS, J r., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ferrules forCanes, Umbrellas, &c., which improvement is fully set forth in thefollowing specification and accompan yin g drawings. I

My invention consists of connecting a point with a ferrule by means ofan inverted cup or shell which is clamped to said point and clamped bythe ferrule.

Figures 1 and 2 represent longitudinal sections of a ferrule embodyingmy invention, the same illustrating different steps of producing thesame.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a ferrule, and B a hollow point,which is connected with said ferrule by means of an in verted cup orshell G. The ferrule is primarily formed with a fiarin g end D, intowhich the cup 0 is fitted, said cup being primarily of cylindrical formand having at its outer end a shoulder-E, against which the adjacentedge of the ferrule abuts. After the point B has been inserted in thecup, the ferrule and cup are subjected to the action of a suitable toolor implement, whereby the flaring end D and side of the cup C arepressed inwardly, thus clamping the side of the cup against the side ofthe point and the end of the ferrule against the side of the cup,forming in a measure dovetailed joints for the ferrule, cup, and point,whereby the point is securely connected with the ferrule, and canneither be drawn out nor pushed in, it being seen that the head of thepoint rests against the inverted base of the cup, and the latter isrestrained from inward motion, owing to its shoulderE being in contactwith the edge or end of the ferrule.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire toseeure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A ferrule having a flaring end, a cup with an outwardly-projectingflange against -whieh said flaring end abuts, and a point embraced bysaid cup and end, substantially as described.

2. A ferrule having a cup with a projecting flange against which a loweredge of the ferrule abuts, and a point embraced by said cup,substantially as described.
